Hey folks of admincraft!
Back in March I shared a survey here looking into Minecraft server security for my Bachelor's thesis, with the aim of informing the requirements for a security plugin. First of all, thanks to the 200 or so of you who responded to it, you were a huge help!
Now, I figured I'd share the result of my work here, in the hopes that someone might find it useful. Here's a brief rundown of what it does:
> Szlaban is a multifunctional Minecraft server security plugin that uses a modular system to deliver the following features:
> * Firewall – filters connections based on IP address (+CIDR range matching), ASN, geolocation, and more. (can be configured) > * Advisor system – can flag some recommended config changes to help keep your server safe. (there's like 4)
The plugin itself is mostly a proof-of-concept, so expect some rough edges or some imperfections; I didn't have time to run an evaluation. Also feel free to have a play about with the code, it's open source.
The repo (and downloads) can be found at the link below (though you may want to grab from actions rather than releases!) :

Also re rule 11, I didn't use AI to generate the code for me, dw
